STORRS — UConn football coach Paul Pasqualoni is optimistic his team will be fully healthy for Saturday's game against Cincinnati at Rentschler Field. That will only happen if quarterback Chandler Whitmer can count to 10 correctly.

It is not believed to be a serious concussion, though the extent of it likely won't be known for a couple of days.
